Angelina Jolie showed off her massive back tattoo at the 2018 EE British Academy Film Awards held at Royal Albert Hall on Sunday in London, England. Her film, ‘First They Killed My Father’, was nominated for Best Film Not in the English Language award.

The actress, director, and humanitarian stunned in a custom Ralph & Russo Couture velvet gown that revealed her massive Yant ViHan Pha Chad Sada tattoo. It was inked by ex-monk Ajarn Noo Kanpai using steel rods mounted with a surgical steel needle. Reportedly a symbolic tie to ex Brad Pitt, the complex design features three intricate tattoos with Buddhist messages. She styled her black velvet dress with Graff earrings and yet another boring pair of pumps.

Angelina had the painful ‘protection’ tattoos done in February 2016, just months before her split with Brad Pitt. Her former husband has a Buddhist symbol tattooed to the left of his stomach. He used the same ink as his wife to “symbolically bind them” as husband and wife.
